A veteran Yemeni journalist, Abdul Karim al-Khaiwani, has been sentenced to six years in jail with hard labour for distributing publications that called for solidarity with the Houthi rebels in the northern province of Sa'ada. Al-Khaiwani, the editor-in-chief of the opposition website al-Shura.net, has repeatedly been targeted over his work in the past 15 years. (Via IFEX)
